[opensuse] IPv6 Rogue Router Security Issue
by Lew Wolfgang 30 Dec '17

30 Dec '17

Hi Folks, There seems to be a flurry of IPv6 talk going on, maybe this is time for me to bring up the rogue router problem again? I asked about this a couple of times over the years but could never find anyone to comment on it. First, here's the RFC that describes the problem: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6104 Rogue routers have affected me personally at a customer's site. This is a large, professionally managed, dual-stacked network with a number of v4 class B addresses and thousands of hosts. Subnets seem to be /20 CIDR in size, so there are plenty of "neighbors" on any given subnet. I've encountered the situation where misconfigured Windows systems will advertise themselves as an IPv6 router. They then happily accept traffic and drop it all silently on the floor. This problem doesn't seem to bother other Windows boxes too much, but it absolutely kills SSH connections. SSH preferentially tries IPv6 port 22, which when sent to a dumb Windows box results in very long hangups and connection failures. My workaround for my cohort of Linux desktops and servers was to disable IPv6 for both ssh and sshd. This will work for as long as the host network supports dual stacks, but eventually? Then there's the issue of intentional MITM attacks using this vector. If a bad actor has physical access to a subnet, or has compromised a host on that subnet, your goose is cooked. This link mentions some mitigations, but they're quite technical and may require hardware support. https://community.infoblox.com/t5/IPv6-Center-of-Excellence/Holding-IPv6-Ne… So, what is the threat to a home IPv6 user who has WiFi and an Internet of Things with minimal/non-existent security? I personally feel safer behind a nice natted IPv4 firewall with ACL rules between my copper and WiFi subnets. I just feel that I have more control of the situation with a simpler network. Has SUSE addressed this issue? Tell me I don't have to worry about it!

[opensuse] Again, trying to find a suitable video editor.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Dec '17

02 Dec '17

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I simply can't find a suitable video editor that works. My goal is to extract the interesting parts of a TV recording. Ie, mark the start of the movie, the end, the commercials inside, and dump all that into a single file, perhaps recoding. One limitation is that movies here have two sound tracks, one in Spanish, and the other one in the original language, typically English. I want to keep both, obviously. I don't need any transition or effect, just a simple editor that allows me to remove unwanted sections. I have tried: pitivi - crashes on start LiVES - works for an hour at 100% CPU and can't load the file. dvbcut - says my mpeg file is not a video (and it certainly is!) tragtor - can convert, but not edit. openshot - almost. My video has two sound tracks, and this tool ignores the second track. cinelerra-cv - I can't make head or tails of it. I tell it to load a video file, it does, but then I don't see how to do anything. It doesn't even display the video. I may have to read the manual, but I dislike having to read a manual for a GUI. Still... kdenlive - Well... crashes too often. I can mark the cuts, but it does not display what I'm cutting. And only one sound track. HandBrake - no edit. Avidemux - one sound track only. Kino - abandonware. Lightworks ?? Shotcut - Segmentation fault on start. cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> shotcut QSqlDatabase: QSQLITE driver not loaded QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QMYSQL QMYSQL3 QSqlQuery::exec: database not open QSqlQuery::exec: database not open Database::Database(QObject*) Failed to get version. QSqlQuery::exec: database not open bool Database::upgradeVersion1() Failed to create thumbnails table. Database version is 0 Segmentation fault cer@Telcontar:~/Videos/Fusion/trabajo> Flowblade ?? I don't understand the tool. May need some reading. At least it runs. I would like something that would produce a command line to ffmpeg in a GUI. Then I could modify further the options. This would be ideal. tragtor works this way, but has no editor. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] leap42.1 - how do I get the hostname displayed on the GUI login/lock screen?
by Per Jessen 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

$SUBJ says it all - I'm missing the hostname. When several PC are connected via a kvm switch it's handy being able to tell where you are logging in. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to grep a save command in order to save the complete output of hwinfo to a txt file?
by stakanov 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

I have to put the complete hwinfo from the cli to a txt outputfile. I recall I can do this somehow with grep, but all the web resources speak about long scripts. Notwithstanding, I recall, a very simple command can do this. If somebody is knowledgeable I would appreciate.

[opensuse] Installation of Leap 42.2 failing
by Marc Chamberlin 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi - I downloaded the ISO image for Leap 42.2 to install it on my brand spanking new ASUS laptop and ran into an unexpected issue. (I did verify the MD5 checksum so suspect the DVD I put the image on is OK.) The installation starts up OK with a lot of text output and gets to the point where 3 overlapped green bars are showing progress and at that point it opens up a dialog box asking me what the URL is for the repository. It gives me 3 options for the CD, the hard drive, and the internet URL. I chose CD obviously but it acts like nothing is there and keeps asking. My guess is that something is wrong with the basic CD/DVD driver that is being installed? Funny that the installation started up OK from the DVD but then it appears to lose the ability to talk to it at some point... Do you want me to send any more info? How do I proceed? Thanks in advance, Marc... -- "The Truth is out there" - Spooky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Nvidia Backlight Control - Can't find anything at software.opensuse.org?
by David C. Rankin 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

All, Installed leap 42.2 with the nvidia drivers. Upon install of the drivers, I lost backlight control (which was by manually updating the nouveau provided /sys/class/backlight/nv_backlight/brightness interface). With the nvidia driver installed, /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0 remains, but doesn't provide backlight control (I don't expect it to). With the same setup on arch, we generally use either the nvidia_bl or nvidiabl 3rd party packages[1] to provide a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight interface that then works as the nouveau provided interface (nv_backlight) did. The only difference I'm seeing with opensuse, is the values in acpi_video0/brightness no longer change when using my laptop hotkeys, ctrl+F9 (lower) and crtl+F10(raise). (on arch, I simply used inotifywait to watch for changes on acpi_video0/brightness and then scaled the values and updated nvidia_backlight/brightness to provide backlight control via the hotkeys) Does anyone know of a buildservice package to control the backlight on laptops with the nvidia driver installed? Anybody have another way of getting backlight control? (this laptop is blinding without brightness set to 50%) Footnote [1]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#Enabling_bright… https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-bl/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidiabl/ -- David C.

[opensuse] Oracle to bill Windows Java users. Are Linux users next?
by Anton Aylward 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

I came across this http://www.businessinsider.com/oracle-starts-to-audit-java-customers-2016-12 and I find it rather disturbing. I'm glad I'm a Linux user :-) Are there FOSS 'installers' for Java and Windows? Well, actually, even as a Linux user I'm nervous, since I get the Java Runtime from Oracle. They could turn around and charge for that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hello: Is it possible to backup a whole android file system to an openSUSE linux computer? The net is full of sites explaining how to do android tablet or phone backup to PC but those mostly apply to backing up some of the data only. I would like to make a copy of the whole file system of a cell phone to my openSUSE computer. I would like: -backup/copy the whole file system -use cable connection between android device and computer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
